Nice post. I was checking continuously this site and I'm impressed! Extremely useful info specifically the last part I care for such info much. I was looking for this specific info for a long time. Thankyou and best of luck.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f1242e869bedd777800000eFrancina IngmireSat, 14 Jan 2012 22:07:20 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f1242e869bedd777800000e
My brother suggested I might like this web site. He was once entirely right. This submit actually made my day. You cann't consider just how much time I had spent for this information! Thanks!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0f4236ecad04a54800004bSandra DecasanovaThu, 12 Jan 2012 15:27:34 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0f4236ecad04a54800004b
Concerns associated with cyberbullies, stalking along with other forms of nuisance appear under-reported in the mass media. It of course would be very helpful if more people continued with these sorts of conversations. It doesn't make any difference if it is a famous person, merely a teenager, or a co-worker.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0c49bcecad04521b000038Og&#322;oszenia KielceTue, 10 Jan 2012 09:22:52 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0c49bcecad04521b000038
Hi, I just wanted to say, you're wrong. Your blog doesn't make any sense.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f07a74269bedd0575000034Rudolf FussellFri, 06 Jan 2012 21:00:34 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f07a74269bedd0575000034
Hmm Well I was just searching on yahoo and just came across your site, mostly I just only visit sites and retrieve my needed info but this time the useful information that you posted in this post urged me to post here and appreciate your diligent work. I just bookmarked your site. Thank you again.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f05fd496bb3f7f43b00001aHang LittlepageThu, 05 Jan 2012 14:43:05 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f05fd496bb3f7f43b00001a
Hmm i hope you dont get offended with this question, but how much does a site like yours earn?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f05eeb5eab8eace34000017Midas MulliganThu, 05 Jan 2012 13:40:53 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f05eeb5eab8eace34000017
Since 2008 I have been saying out loud that many of the unemployed in the US could easily have taken 6-10 months and developed basic coding skills with languages like Ruby/Rails, C#, Java... Or even basic HTML skills that would have at least made them employable in the US for a decade and reduced the flow of basic code work that's going offshore... But the guys in Congress and the 'bright House' just extended benefits without a training quid pro quo. I'd how that many of the unemployed would still rather be producers than looters.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f05e8dceab8ea8c2e000007reasonThu, 05 Jan 2012 13:15:56 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f05e8dceab8ea8c2e000007
I tell kids that whatever you want to do, you'll have more options and be better at your profession if you can code as well. Making programs is a tool of the information age, no different from pen and paper and hand tools . By "code", I don't mean actually be good at it, or have it be your career. Rather, just be comfortable enough with it to roll-your-own solution in a pinch. C'mon .. today's farmers are huge IT users.
Proficiency with a word processor and spreadsheets are requirements to practically most jobs now - did you expect that 20 years ago?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f05c2f3eab8ea5c6800000cUndertoadThu, 05 Jan 2012 10:34:11 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f05c2f3eab8ea5c6800000c
Women should not become strippers, because you're less unemployable once you have a family, and totally unemployable by your mid-40s.
Programming is a poor choice of career for the same reason.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f05b2d569bedd1913000019Matt AucklandThu, 05 Jan 2012 09:25:25 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f05b2d569bedd1913000019
Ok, bollocks to the above article. And..."So if you want to be an entrepreneur, you should learn how to code" - No you don't. To be an entrepreneur you can just have an idea, then organise and build your team in. Many great entrepreneurs did in the past, Kevin Rose did with Digg for example, Richard Branson is another prime example.
Coding is an art form. Yes, anyone who is interested and applies themselves can learn to code, but same can be said about writing an article for a newspaper. But as with writing there is a differents between being able to do it, and being able to do it right and to a high standard. That is what separates the meh coders from the great coders.
After all I can lay bricks and build a wall, but I can't build a house.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f05987d69bedda85f000023GligorThu, 05 Jan 2012 07:33:01 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f05987d69bedda85f000023
If you define knowing to write code as writing text yes, it is possible lot of people will write the code, but I'm not sure that code will be ok, optimized without rubbish inside......
I see programmers as engineers comparable to professional writers of books. Some are good some of them not so good but they are better then ordinary peoplehttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f059277eab8ea7007000032Michael GarofaloThu, 05 Jan 2012 07:07:19 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f059277eab8ea7007000032
I agree with the statement that good code is like art and science. A lot of creativity and thinking goes into solving technical problems with code. Yet... once that code is created... it is easily copied and reapplied.

With Stencyl, I can drag a few blocks over and have two different languages of code automatically generated for me. Creating programs/applications is no longer an arcane art. Programs like Stencyl and GameSalad demystify it.
So instead of needing to be a translator of technical jargon, the programming language is ENGLISH! That means a good programmer can focus on ideas and solving problems... not a translator for a machine. Computers work for us. They should speak our language.
It's not someday... a revolution in coding is happening right now!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0590f6ecad046458000026TonyThu, 05 Jan 2012 07:00:54 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0590f6ecad046458000026
The average person (with whom the average BI reader has very little interaction) is about as capable of learning to write good code as most people have of being theoretical physicists. I do think most jobs of the future will primarily be about creative innovation and will involve constant change and automation of an individual's own work, but that just means that the average person will be less and less qualified for most jobs. Once low-skill needs are completely automated (from farming and factory work to flipping burgers), what can the average person actually do that provides value to anyone else? Not a hell of a lot. I'm somewhat dreading the resolution of this problem because it may be the greatest social challenge in the history of humanity.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f054c06ecad04f06c000001Miro MiroslavovThu, 05 Jan 2012 02:06:46 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f054c06ecad04f06c000001
That's one of the stupidest comments I've ever seen about programming. But of course is different to write a few lines of script and to engineer a huge software product that is really useful. Maybe someday even the "presidents of gaming media companies" would be able to write a line of code...http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f05428c6bb3f74874000001jim bartonThu, 05 Jan 2012 01:26:20 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f05428c6bb3f74874000001
Roy Bahat’s comments are idiotic and they show how much he knows about software. He works at News Corporation the company where Rupert Murdoch, his son and Roger Ales hang out. Together they knows as much about news and media as Newt Gingrich knows about integrity.
I pity the poor engineers who have to work for him.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0531eeecad04c625000045AndreiThu, 05 Jan 2012 00:15:26 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0531eeecad04c625000045
Bullshit. Good code is an art and science.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0510b16bb3f7dc0a000047jar jarWed, 04 Jan 2012 21:53:37 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0510b16bb3f7dc0a000047
how dumb. most software projects are failures
or are abandoned after few years. corporations treat engineers as
commodity like furniture easily replaceable.
your work is owned by someone else.
That is more like feudal system where you farm in someone
else property. Indentured Slave is more like it.
